I am still in the process of getting the laser to 811.29nm. However, I cannot seem to get the laser out of the 812 - 813 range. Unfortunately, the wavemeter can only scan over a small range of grating adjustment, so I must constantly go back and forth realigning the laser and checking the wavelength. I would benefit greatly from the rough spectrometer in the optics lab, as it doesn’t require the system to be lined up in order to use. I could use it to get in the right range and then use the precise wavemeter to make a more exact match. I could also use the power meter for adjusting vertical tilt.
